This took me two days. Smooth Bristol paper (11x14), mostly mechanical HB pencil with 4B for the dark spots. Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
EDIT: 07/16- I took out my trusty ol' 6B and smoothed Mr. Turner and Captain Sparrow more to my liking. The original submission is in my scraps. A big part of my problem here is that these are done with graphite, which reflects the light from the scanner in the blackest places. I think the best solution to this is to smash all machinery and go live in a cave in the woods.
EDIT: 08/14- I went ahead and scanned this in sideways and pasted the two pieces together so you could get the full view of the drawing. I was never quite happy with how it was cropped before.
I notice that I recently have a Print Request for this piece. Unfortunately, I tried to make it a print once before and it was rejected by DeviantArt for copyright reasons. Sorry, guys.
Yeah, the nose looks really funky in this pic because there's such harsh light coming at it. I tried to draw in the outline of the nose, but I had to erase it. I could hear my old art teacher screaming in my brain, "NO OUTLINING!"
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
